About this property

Charming house at foot of the acropolis in Archangelos, Rhodes

This little brown stone house, available year round, with reduced rate off-season, is perfect for a couple, or individual (see pictures, could accomodate small children too). If you want a real Greek town that is not a tourist town, but only a fifteen minute drive from popular Lindos, and only a five minute drive to both Stegna beach and Tsampika beach, this place is ideal. The town of Archangelos has well-stocked supermarkets and amazing fruit and vegetables stores, for food, and specialty stores for computers and phones, and other services, car rental and tour agency, and full medical services, pharmacies, and restaurants and gyro and souvlaki places, within a short walking distance of the house, which sits on the side of the hill next to the acropolis/castle, overlooking the town. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is tucked in a private corner under grapevines and nestled in a terraced garden. The castle ruins/acropolis is steps away, and contains the small church of Saint George and has a stunning view of sea, mountains and town, and is generally deserted, no tourists. (There are no gates or admissions fees, just walk right in any time of day or night and enjoy sunrise, sunset, moonrise, etc.) Also within a few steps are several lovely churches, some Byzantine, with lovely frescos, and the main parish church of Archangel Michael is also steps away. Monastery Tsampika is a five minute drive or just under half an hour walk. At Stegna beach are several topnotch tavernas with traditional seafood and other Greek fare.The location of the village on the East coast halfway down the island is convenient for sightseeing by car or bus all around our lovely island. The house has WIFI and AC, and for winter stays, heat and a beautiful stone fireplace.

Erholsamer Urlaub
Wir haben Ende September 2 wunderbare Wochen in diesem charmanten Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist genau, wie wir es erwartet haben und wie es beschrieben wurde. Es ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum täglichen Leben braucht. Die Lage ist außergewöhnlich und bei der ersten Anfahrt spannend. Aber wenn man den Weg weiß, ist es kein Problem. Einfach nur den Schildern zur Akropolis folgen. Der Urlaub war entspannend ruhig und die Vermieterin war jederzeit erreichbar und hat sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Es ist etwas für Individualisten, aber das Leben der Stadt ist nur ein paar Gehminuten entfernt. Wir haben den Urlaub genossen und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Love embracing the culture away from the tourist traps. You don't really need a car. You can hire a taxi to get there and take the bus the rest of the time. Buses are reasonable only 3.30 euro from the town into the tourist cities. No need to look for parking in Rhodes or Lindos with the bus system. Bus station is maybe a 5- 8 minute walk. I will probably not rent a car next time. Rustic and what the locals live in. Loved the private patio. My daughter stayed up nights with the lights on reading on the patio. The beaches are not crowed and loungers, shade umbrellas are affordable. You do have to be a little agile to take the steps up to the cottage. I'm no spring chicken and made it up and down easily. Thru the back garden gate is the castle. An easy walk to the castle and the church within. Stella the owner will bend over backwards to provide anything you are missing or require. Lots of information on local events or sites that you might not know are happening. Really they were a knock or email away. They even were kind enough to present us with a lovely going away gift. This was probably one of the best places I have stayed in for privacy and location.

Super cute little quiet stay
Wonderful garden and great quiet location. Just under the acropolis and minutes from restaurants on foot. Very walkable.

We walked to Ancient Archangelos right out the back of the home. The hosts were friendly. We enjoyed Stegna Beach which is very nearby.

Keine Premium Gastgeber
kein Internet, Router defekt? Am ersten Morgen wollte ich Kaffee machen, Kaffeemaschine war defekt. Zwei Tage später wollte ich im TV Nachrichten schauen, ging leider nicht. Keine Batterien in der Fernbedienung und nur griechische Sender! Dann ein Loch irgendwo im Abwasserrohr der Toilette. Statt dieses Leck zu schliessen, hat man mir freundlicherweise einen Aufnehmer und einen Eimer vor die Tür gestellt. Ich habe also mehrmals am Tag das Abwasser aufgewischt um nicht nach dem duschen in der Brühe zu stehen. Die Beschreibung der Lage des Objektes ist sehr ungenau. Hätte ich gewußt wo das Haus liegt, ich hätte es niemals gebucht. Ein ortsfremder so wie ich, findet niemals alleine zu dem Haus. Die Straßen in diesem Viertel sind alle ohne Namen. So bin ich leider auch einmal mit dem Auto in einer dieser sog. Straßen stecken geblieben. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett, haben mich einmal zum Essen eingeladen aber die Bezeichnung Premium ist hier nicht angebracht! Einige Dinge sind auch nicht so, wie in der Anzeige beschrieben. So gibt es keine Mikrowelle oder Zentralheizung, es gab nur einen uralten Kochtopf in dem man nicht kochen will. In dem Kamin wurde noch nie ein Feuer gemacht, vielleicht mal vor 50 Jahren als die Tante noch lebte. An den Kleiderschrank kommt man nur, wenn man sich auf das Bett stellt und die untere Schublade bekommt man nur knapp halb auf. Ins Bett kommt man nur über einen zweistufigen Tritt. Für Menschen mit Handicap wirklich total ungeeignet und kein Premium

What makes this property unique

Castle Garden is located in a quiet section of the town of Archangelos which is a real Greek village, not heavily touristed, but replete with all the supplies and services anyone might need, including a 24/7 free walk-in clinic/emergency room, super markets, pharmacies, computer and electronics and hone services, bakeries, eateries, bars, live music. And the beach with great swimming, and many fine tavernas is only five minutes away by car.

Popular tourist places like Lindos and Seven Springs are only minutes away by car (or public busses). The whole island is readily accessible from this location about halfway down the east coast road.

Shopping for food and other necessities is only a few steps away from the house if you don't want to take the car. Yet, sitting on the hill above the town, you feel far above it. A number of our guests have become regulars, coming back year after year, making Castle Garden truly their home away from home.

Living in this little hideaway, which will feel like your own, you will feel like a local, and wherever you go in the area, find yourself surrounded with friendly people generating the feeling of true Greek hospitality.
